The Negative Consequences Of Civil Disobedience

In Henry David Thoreau’s writing, he discusses the obstacles of civil disobedience that he had to overcome within his own life experiences. Thoreau

Civil disobedience plays an important and great role in the world. It is a major and effective part of many processes that combat injustice and immorality. In the past, it has helped countries gain independence, combatted racial segregation, affected countries’ involvement in wars and much more. People such as Parks and Gandhi have fought the immoral laws which led to thousands of millions of people having the opportunity to live a future without prejudice, discrimination and oppression because they held up their beliefs and demonstrated he importance of civil

How does the social responsibility of intellectuals to demonstrate civil disobedience differ from Lincoln and MLK’s time and today as demonstrated by Black lives matter and Antifa

The act of violating the laws and authority of the state is justified only when the measures taken by the state are contrary to the morals, ethics, and public opinion of the governed. On the occasion that truly “unjust” rule is forced upon a citizenry, violating that authority can be validated. The factors which contribute to an unjust governance are the states’ adherence to common morality, the power structure of the government, how closely it follows the public will, and the ethical consideration taken by the power. Civil disobedience, however, must be exercised cautiously and with extreme restraint, because if the private individual has the power to neglect the law due to personal interest, the society will deteriorate into chaos. Although Sophocles’ Antigone and Plato’s Crito do not exhibit a shared interpretation of when it is justified to disobey the state, considering both pieces will strengthen an understanding of when it is appropriate to practice a degree of law breaking.

In the United States Constitution we the people were given a right to freedom of speech. People have taken to this right given to us by the Founding Fathers. But, one problem rises to the top with a right that has so much freedom, civil disobedience. It’s a topic that we are seeing more of in our society today. Civil disobedience is a threat against our free society due to people not taking our laws serious enough.

Civil disobedience has been a topic of discussion for hundreds of years. Many of the people who participate, in this action, boycott or resist against the government, rules, and topics that are not just. Although people think that civil disobedience is ineffective because of the consequences it may have, other people think that it is very effective and have many benefits such as it gets results, makes the opponent look bad and there can be less death by the civil the disobedience.

we saw a crazy spiral when Abigail started to conceal information about the night's activities and resorted to an extreme form of behaviour by killing others. This play sheds light on how state and dominant cultural values can even sweep those who think otherwise. I mean if I am thinking logically and have moderate view, that won't matter if I find myself in such situation where people put their allegations for let’s say apostasy or make false charges, fake FIRs and if the media blows it out of proportion without investigation like it happens in this part of the world, there is just no way to escape from that vicious cycle (Miller, 1953). Nobody is safe if the state laws and the prevailing order is messed up. Proctor was worried of his reputation

What is civil disobedience? Civil disobedience is the opposing of a law one finds unjust by refusing to follow it and accepting the consequences. So many people have performed acts of civil disobedience from Martin Luther King Jr. to everyday people. But what people did as civil disobedience a hundred years ago is completely different today. It is such an important part of a free society because it helps to define what a free society is, shows the true meaning of freedom of speech, and shows the government that citizens are not willing to follow an unjust law without violence.

Civil disobedience is the backbone of all free nations. The positive influences of this act are visible in every aspect of life. Civil disobedience is peacefully disobeying any law thought unjust while accepting all legal repercussions. Peaceful resistance instigates change, allows communication with the government, and gives nation’s citizens power.

Civil disobedience by no means developed recently. Opposing the law in order to promote change goes back hundreds of years, and often became the backbone of positive social developments. However, similar to reactions to other types of protests, some groups believe civil disobedience holds no place in today’s society, or, for some, in any society, but, in doing so, ignore the vast number of positive effects these sorts of protests can glean, as far back as the start of America to living in today’s corporate world.

I believe that peaceful resistance to laws can positively impact a free society. As long as someone is not harming another person or groups of people while refusing to follow certain laws then they should be able to carry on. Sometimes what this person is refusing may be wrong, but they are still entitled to their opinions and beliefs. A famous boxer, Muhammad Ali, once refused to participate in the military draft of 1960 for the Vietnam War. His argument was, "Why should me and other so-called 'negroes' go 10,000 miles away from home, here in America, to drop bombs and bullets on other innocent brown people who's never bothered us and I will say directly: No I will not go" (Mullen). He received so much hatred and criticism for his decision.

Thoreau cautions the reader of disobedience. There are many instances throughout history that disobedience with the intent of progression doesn’t occur because the new authority merely replaces, or it becomes worse than the oppressive former one, rather than improving upon it. Additionally, Thoreau advocates for resistance if it’s necessary or on moral grounds.

Civil disobedience is tantamount to raising the red signal against democracy when the latter deviates from the right course in accordance with the views of exponents. It can be considered as a kind of opposition or rather a very advanced shape of political and social resistance. Civil disobedience is not a commonplace form of political opposition, not because it is a negative form of political resistance, but because it occurs very rarely. It can be regarded as the most sophisticated case of the embodiment of democracy. Therefore, it is difficult if not impossible to imagine a democracy without the freedom of opposition including the right of civil disobedience. Freedom of

Oliver, Kretschmer and Maughan (2014), purposeful study identifies patterns of early childhood risk exposure and examines their relationship to diverse outcomes in middle childhood. The researchers used three different analyses in this study: logistic regression analyses, latent class analysis method, and multinomial logistic regression analyses, and to spot patterns of initial risk exposure by looking at their connection with numerous outcomes in middle childhood. The researchers point to the importance of understanding the typical childhood risk exposures that might facilitate focus on finding the right resources to help children in need. The sample used in their research was from Avon Longitudinal of Study Parents and Children (ALSPAC),

Nobles, Priests, Peasants, and scholars few of many descriptions given to people living in the Middle Ages. The Middle Ages, was a time in European history when people were separated by jobs, religious beliefs, and money. During the Middle Ages a class system began to develop and out of that rose the middle class. Middle class is the social group between the upper and working classes, including professional and business workers and their families. In literature many writers have been able to depict economic and social changes through poems, novels, and short stories. Geoffrey Chaucer’s poem, The Canterbury Tales, depicts the rising middle class in the midst of the Middle Ages through the use of characters, their actions, and language.
